Sunday Newspapers.
ZiOn's Herald

Our religious papers and our pulpits
are constantly presenting the evil in
fiuences flowing from the Sunday news
papers. But the publishers and ed
itOrs simply smile at these impotent
religious "bulls." And why should
they not, when the news-bOy on Sun
day morning finds as readily his custo-
mers among church members as among
the frequenters of the streets Moth
ing can give a thoughtful man a more
vivid idea of the low moral tone of the
times, even in the Christian member
ship, than these very significant Incl
dents. The evil that so many appre-
bend cannot be abated by denouncing
the proprietors of the public press.
They have their own moral burdens to
bear, and must meet the challenges of
their own consciences and of the law

Losses and Losses.
Davenport, IoaOa, Democrat.

Davenport, IOtcd, Democrat
The fire loss figures in the United
States this year, exceed, they say, a
hundred million dollars, and are at
tributed mainly to carelessness and
human cussedness. The insurance real
lied is about One-half that sum-a lit
tie more perhaps. This is something
startling -discouraging to insurance
men. The year is not two thirds gone,
and bids fair to be the most disaster
Gus one on record-Outside of 1871.
But these are not the only fire losses
of 1887-not hardly half of them. The
value of tobacco burned so far this
year, is said to be not less than one
hundred and fifty million of dollars,
and there are more than four months
left. The loss of SO much money is
said to be attributed to human appe-
tite. 1t has done the incendiaries no
gOOd-has not put dollar into their
pockets, nor Il loaf of bread upon their
tables. Nor is there dollar of insur-
ance for the men who owned and lost
all this property-for the burning was
voluntary.
1t is not expected that this uninsur-
ed loss will be any less next year or
next. For people who create unto
themselves habits must feed and nOur-
ish them. 1t is not in the interest of
health, or strength, or wealth, OF
length of years, that it is done. 1t is not
to feed natural want or human need.
1t brings the burner neither house nor
home. 1t pays no butchers bills and
brings no clothing in.
We start at the losses that come of
buildings burned, but while we WON
der where it is to end, what the insur
ance rate will be next year, we pitch
another dime clear out of sight and
light fresh cigar.

The Amendment Defeated by From
Ten to Twenty Thousand Majority.

The exact result of Thursdays cleo
ton will not be known for several
days yet, but enough is known to set
tie the defeat of the amendment by
between ten and twenty thousand
majority. Shelby county went
against by six thousand majority,
Davidson county by over two thous-
and, and Hamilton county by twelve
hundred. Knox county gave the
amendment over three thousand ma
jority. The indications are that East
Tennessee has given the amendment
about fifteen thousand, majority with
a close race in West Tennessee, and
$4,000 or 10000 majority against in
Middle Tennessee.
White and Cannon counties went
the same as Warren, about two to
one against. Coffee gave a small
majority against. We have no news
yet from Grundy, Van Buren,, or
DeKalb. We will give the total re-
suit of the State by counties next
week if it can be had.

The prohibition barbecue and
rally at Faulkner's factory last Sat-
urday vas a grand success. MI.
John l.. Nolen, of Nashville, was
the principal orator of the day, and
he made n Of the very best speech
es which the people of this county
had the pleasure Of hearing during
the entire campaign, and the prohi-
bitionists are indebted to his effort
for so or a 100 more votes for the
amendment than it would otherwise
have received. There were between
one and two thousand people present
during the day, and a most bountiful
dinner was spread. After all had
partaken bountily of the feast,
enough remained to have fed several
hundred more. Hon. G. Marchbanks
addressed the crowd for an hour or
more after dinner, but many of them
who lived long distances off left be-
fore hearing him.
The anti-prohibition rally at this
place last Monday drew a large
crowd. Mr.. II. G.. Snodgrass, of
Sparta, and Judge j. J.. Williams, of
Winchester, were the speakers. They
had good attention for the five or six
hours consumed in the speaking.
The closing of the saloons during
their speaking was the strongest
possible card they could have play
ed for prohibition. To use the Ian
guage Of little circular issued dur
ing the day by the prohibition com
mittee, 'the saloon is too dangerous
to be left open even at a whisky
rally" They placed the seal Of con-
domination upon the very business
they were defending. Mr.. Murray,
in trying to answer the circular, said
they closed the saloons to show the
people that moral courage and man
hood was the remedy for the evil.
He failed, however, to explain why
it was only necessary to exercise this
moral courage and manhood on the
day set apart for a great demonstra-
ton in favor of retaining the saloons.
1t looks like on that, of all other days,
the saloon should have been allowed
to blossom forth in all its glory. But
no, they knew the evil of this viper
they were nurturing, and from very
fear of it they suppressed it. Their
"personal liberty" was bound in
chains by their own voluntary act
for that day.

This is light and dashing volume Of sporting
srm;n,scepoes by the weIl-known English steephe-
chase rider Fox Russell. 1t is more than deSul-
tory, however, for the writer, being full OF mis-
subject, gives great deal OF advice ana useiui
information concerning the training and racing
and hunting of horses, and also in regard TO rid
Ing after foxhounds. staghounds, draghounds
and barriers From long and varied expert
ence on the turf and in the hunting field he sets
down abundance Of opposite illustrations, inter
esting anecdotes and useful suggestions. or
course the sport treated of is all English, and
much of the advice given applies especially to
English hunting and racing conditions. but
much may be gathered from the little volume OF
interest and value to the American amateur OF
hunting, and the impetus that OF late years mas
been given to the favoritc English sport In TINS
country renders il the more probable that ME-.
Russ ellis chatty chapters will find rcaiers on TINS
side of the Atlantic. His sts le is plain, straght
forward, and less profusely garnishcd with the
queer slang OF the race course, stable ana hunt-
ing field than is the case usually with "horsey"
books; while he is so palpable an authority on
his subjects that his dicta are tOlerably sure to
be received with Difference. Even TO the unnl-
tate the fact is unmistaxable that here is a

THE THREE TETONS: A Story Of the Yellowstone. by
ALICE WELLINGTON ROLLINS. limo, pp Zl9 Cas-
sell Il Co.
"The Three Tetons" is really more an itinerary
the Yellowstone National Park than story,
hut it is nevertheless worth reading. 1t tells the
adventures Of q family party while making a
cam, ing tour of the Park, and incidentally the
author gives so much interesting information con-
ceruing one of the most marvellous regions In the
woill as to create a lively desire In the reader
TO go and do likewise. She certainly makes 1t
clear enough that the regular tourist" parties
that are whrlcd through the Park on contract can
obtain only the most nceting and insufficient
climpses of its wonders and beauties. Evidently
whoever desires to see all that deserves to ne
seen must make a more deliberate and eisuey
visitation, and as things the camping trip
appears to Off by far the most advantages. MISS
Rollins writes briskly and piquantly, and has
sense of QUIT humor which is pleasant. She care
fully refrains from what are called word pict-
uresn and only attempts the most modest outline
descriptions. These. however. are often more sug-
ccstive than ambitious and elaborate efforts.
There is O distinctive flavor about the little
book, and it Is that of the intellectual atmos- |
phcrc Of bright American women and educated and
duly submissive American men.
